Atlas Sound TSD-ML22VCA 2 x 2 Mic/Line Preamp and VCA

Versatile Mic/Line Preamp and VCA Solution
The Atlas Sound TSD-ML22VCA is a powerful 2x2 mic/line preamplifier and VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) designed for professional audio applications. This versatile unit offers two inputs and two outputs, featuring high-quality microphone preamplifiers and VCA technology for precise volume control. It's an ideal solution for venues like sports bars, restaurants, and hotels that require efficient audio management across multiple zones or for stereo sources.

Advanced Audio Control for Complex Environments
With its dual-channel design, the TSD-ML22VCA excels in providing independent level control for two separate discrete zones or stereo sources. The VCA technology, positioned before amplification, offers a more efficient approach to volume adjustment compared to traditional transformer-based attenuators, especially in high-power music applications. This makes it particularly suitable for installations where precise and responsive volume control is crucial.

Professional-Grade Microphone Capabilities
Boasting two high-quality microphone preamplifiers, this unit simplifies setups that require remote microphone level adjustment. Each mic input is equipped with switchable phantom power, accommodating condenser microphones. Additionally, a 12dB/octave high-pass filter at 125Hz is available on each mic input, effectively minimizing bass rumble and low-frequency feedback. This ensures that voice spectrum remains clear and focused, making it perfect for applications such as choirs or spoken word performances.

Flexible Input and Output Options
The TSD-ML22VCA offers exceptional flexibility with its two selectable balanced mic or line inputs. The high-gain mic input provides up to 50dB of gain, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones. On the output side, two balanced mic/line outputs are available, along with a high-gain output option for long-distance signal transmission. This versatility makes the unit adaptable to various audio setups and installation requirements.

User-Friendly Design and Monitoring Features
Ease of use is at the forefront of the TSD-ML22VCA's design. Each channel is equipped with separate VCAs for remote level control, which can be managed via wall plate or programmable external DC. The unit also features input peak indicator LEDs and input signal indicator LEDs for each channel, allowing for quick visual monitoring of audio levels. These features contribute to smoother operation and help prevent audio distortion or clipping.

Installation and Security Considerations
Understanding the needs of professional installations, Atlas Sound has incorporated several features to facilitate easy setup and secure operation. The unit comes with a cable management system and offers multiple mounting configurations, providing flexibility in various installation scenarios. Removable Phoenix-style I/O connectors make wiring straightforward and maintainable. For added security, the TSD-ML22VCA includes covers for all front panel controls, preventing unauthorized adjustments.

Comprehensive Audio Solution
The Atlas Sound TSD-ML22VCA is more than just a preamp; it's a comprehensive audio solution. Its ability to function as a mic preamp, line preamp, and line driver makes it a versatile tool in any audio professional's arsenal. Whether you're managing audio for a choir performance, controlling remote systems, or handling complex multi-zone setups, this unit provides the flexibility and quality needed for professional audio applications.
